- The study investigates how reflux after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) could be linked to specific anatomical anomalies in the stomach, using 3DCT scans for a clearer understanding of gastric structure.
- Researchers analyzed 64 post-LSG patients, focusing on factors like body mass index (BMI), symptoms, and detailed 3DCT measurements to identify abnormalities that may lead to complications.
- Results indicated that certain measurements, such as gastric volume and specific ratios, could help define post-LSG issues and potentially predict the success of follow-up surgeries.
The aim of this report is to describe the management of an iatrogenic diaphragmatic eventration following surgery to relieve neurogenic symptoms of thoracic outlet syndrome in a patient with a prior history of sleeve gastrectomy. We discuss the case of a 46-year-old woman with a 6-month history of gastro-oesophageal reflux and dyspnoea. Imaging demonstrated a left hemidiaphragm eventration and hiatus hernia.

CT revealed a curvilinear, hyperdense foreign body adjacent to the duodenum, concerning micro-perforation. Endoscopic examination confirmed findings of a 3 cm fish bone lodged in the pylorus.
